Re: The Trump-Axis war on America continues

I will never vote for any candidate or party that proposes to abandon the most helpless Americans. I will not do that, whatever the consequences may be. And as far as being informed, I will be informed by the time elections arrive, or I will not vote at all, which is what happened last time. "Evil ...

Re: If You Want to Commit a Crime in Maryland, Hire an 11 yr old....

Maybe they can't be "arrested", but surely they could be detained as being 'juvenile delinquents' before being remanded into the custody of the juvenile system. I'd normally say 'remanded into the custody of the parental unit'. but I'll bet a dollar to a dime that these kids are the product of a sin...

Re: Artemis II

With one‑sixth of Earth’s gravity, I wonder how long a person could actually live on the Moon. Perhaps if someone exercised as vigorously as Arnold Schwarzenegger, they might be able to slow down bone loss, muscle atrophy, and heart complications. People will be able to survive the low gravity on t...

Re: Would that be justice?

So do you think the family should sue, and would that be justice? Has justice been done, and how much money is an 84‑year‑old Asian man's life worth? If it had been YOUR 84-year-old grandfather, would you be asking these same silly questions?   Hell, you'd have probably been holding out for "Murder...

Re: Ciboire à deux réservoirs, is EVERYONE a sexual predator?

Well quite so. But the issue was a proposal to name a public street after C Chavez and some folks did object to celebrating a person who'd (allegedly) done a lot of bad things. Honoring people with feet of clay don''t seem to bother MAGA-rats.   Here in Wisconsin — Washington County, to be precise,...

Somebody should tell Trump he is going to die on a national holiday.

Re: Stolen or Conquered Land

But here’s the part people avoid: America wasn’t “stolen” in the legal or historical sense—it was conquered. Throughout nearly all of human history, conquest was a universally recognized method of acquiring territory. This wasn’t unique to Europeans; it was practiced in Europe, Asia, Africa, and th...

All I'll say is — a half-century after the fact, and the alleged suspect is dead and unable to defend himself.

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

And in Iraq, our mistake was the president listening to Colin Powell when he said, “If you break it, you own it.” That is very bad advice. We should have just broken it and left. As soon as Saddam Hussein had been taken care of, we should have pulled out the next day and let them fix their own prob...

Re: Revisiting the standard time vs. daylight saving time debate

Best explanation I ever heard of the fallacy of Daylight Savings Time went something like this — You have a rug that is six feet long. You cut a foot off of one end of the rug and stitch it onto the other end. Then you convince yourself that the rug is now seven feet long. https://www.picgifs.com/em...
